When the top plate is tilted, the tilt range is not restricted, and the tilt can be made at an arbitrary angle. Also,
Since the medical practitioner can freely put his feet under the top plate, the medical practitioner can approach the patient in a natural posture and can perform medical work efficiently.

[0010]

FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which a medical treatment table of the present invention is an operating table.

In FIG. 1, T is a ceiling and F is a floor.
The pedestal 1 is fixed to the ceiling T. On the pedestal 1, an arm assembly 2 that is rotatable in the horizontal direction and expandable and contractable in the vertical direction is suspended. Further, a top plate 6 for an operating table on which a patient is placed is placed at the lower end of the arm assembly 2. It is attached detachably.

An arm assembly 2 includes an upper arm 3 mounted on a pedestal 1 fixed to a ceiling T so as to be rotatable in a horizontal direction about a vertical axis, and an upper end in an up-down direction at an end of the upper arm 3. And a lower arm 5 attached to the lower end of the upright shaft 4 so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis. The upright shaft 4 vertically hangs down from the end of the upper arm 3 and is configured to be rotatable about the vertical axis. The energy box 4a is fitted to the energy box 4a and expands and contracts vertically. And an actuator 4b.

The lower arm 5 of the arm assembly 2 has
A support arm 14 is attached to the end so as to be vertically rotatable, and the top plate 6 is detachably attached to the support arm 14. The top plate 6 attached in this manner has an inclination angle of 0 ° with respect to the horizontal direction in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction).
It can be changed in the range of up to 45 °. Further, since the lower arm 5 is attached to the lower end of the upright shaft 4 so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis, the top plate 6 has a tilt angle in the rollover direction of 0 ° to 15 ° with respect to the horizontal direction. Can be changed within the range.

[0014] In addition, the operating table includes
For example, two surgical illumination lamps 7, 7 are attached to the pedestal side end of the upper arm 3 so as to be able to rotate in the horizontal direction around a vertical axis. An instrument rack 8 is attached to the energy box 4a of the upright shaft 4, so that the instrument rack 8 can rotate around the energy box 4a and move up and down. In addition, various accessory devices can be attached to the arm assembly 2 as needed.

In the above-mentioned operating table, the arm assembly 2 is composed of the upper arm 3, the upright shaft 4, and the lower arm 5 as three basic components. However, as long as the arm assembly 2 has a function of being rotatable in the horizontal direction and capable of expanding and contracting in the vertical direction, as shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. It may be composed of two parts.

In the operating table shown in FIG. 5, an upright shaft 4 which is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the pedestal 1 and which is attached so as to be vertically expandable and contractible, And a lower arm 5 attached rotatably about an axial direction. Lower arm 5 is upright shaft 4
, And at the lower end of the upright shaft 4 to the left and right around the horizontal axis.

By this movement, the top plate 6 can be rotated around the upright shaft 4 and can be tilted by turning laterally.
Further, it can be tilted by turning vertically through the support arm 14. Further, outside the upright shaft 4, a cylindrical body 81 to which the instrument rack 8 is attached is rotatably attached to the pedestal 1 in a concentric manner.

In the medical treatment table (operating table) having the above-described configuration, since the space between the floor F and the top plate 6 is open, the tilt range of the top plate 6 is large without any restriction. Can be tilted up. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), when the top plate 6 is tilted in the longitudinal direction in order to anesthetize the patient P, it is 45 ° with respect to the horizontal direction which was impossible with a conventional operating table. It becomes possible to incline to the above angle.

As shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E,
When the medical practitioner D performs medical work on the patient P on the tabletop,
Since the foot can be freely inserted under the top plate 6, the patient P can approach the patient P in a natural posture. In addition, since the operation can be performed in a comfortable posture while sitting on the chair 9, it is possible to perform the operation with less fatigue even for a long-time operation. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (F), even when X-ray imaging is required during the operation, the X-ray imaging apparatus 10 can be set while the patient P on the top 6 is left as it is.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, since the top plate 6 is detachable, the mounting direction of the top plate 6 with respect to the support arm 14 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the lower arm 5 as shown in FIG. 2 (C),
As shown in (E), (F), etc., the lower arm 5 can be mounted in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

When the medical treatment table (operating table) of the present invention is set in an operating room, it can be configured as shown in FIG.

In the case of a conventional operating room, auxiliary devices such as a surgical lighting lamp 7, a medical gas ceiling column 11, a monitor pendant 12, and the like are independently mounted so as to be suspended from the ceiling T. However, since each one occupies the space of the ceiling T, the mounting area of the hepa filter 13 for blowing clean air has to be reduced.

However, according to the operating table of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, accessory devices such as a surgical lighting lamp 7, a medical gas ceiling column 11, and a monitor pendant 12 are used.
Since it becomes possible to attach all of the space to the arm assembly 2, if a space for suspending the arm assembly 2 is left on the ceiling T, all the remaining space can be used for mounting the hepafilter 13, and clean air Can be taken into the operating room in large quantities.

Also, in the operating room, it is necessary to provide medical gas outlets, electric outlets, monitor outlets, drip mounts, anesthesia machines, micropumps, etc. necessary for treatments such as surgery. These devices can be centrally mounted on the arm assembly 2 and can be hung on an instrument rack 8 provided on the arm assembly 2.

When the operating table of the present invention is used, the electric and gas piping system can also be simplified in the energy box 4a. FIG. 4 shows an example of the piping system. A is a monitor cable, B is a medical gas pipe, C is a 100 V AC pipe, D is a 200 V AC pipe, and E is a pipe.
Indicates a DC pipe.

Although the embodiment in the case of the operating table has been described above, the medical treatment table of the present invention is effective not only for the operating table but also for the examination table, the examination table, the X-ray table, the delivery table and the like. Can be applied to

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the top plate is attached to the arm assembly suspended from the pedestal on the ceiling, the lower side of the top plate is opened, and the top plate is opened. When tilting, the tilt range is not restricted, and tilting can be performed at an arbitrary angle. In addition, since the medical practitioner can freely put his or her feet under the top plate, the medical practitioner can approach the patient in a natural posture and can perform medical work efficiently.
